    Right-o, I suppose my question is more whether or not an atheist denies the existence of ALL divine beings, or just the typical ones.

    He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

    By definition, it would be all. Otherwise, they would be a skeptic.

    Agnostic = No way to know know if there is a god or not
    Atheism = There is no god

    What pushed me from Agnosticism to Atheism was a simple thought experiment. I asked myself "Do I believe in [fairies, minotaurs, etc.)]?". The answer was no. Surely I can't know for a fact that they do not exist (agnosticism) but having seen 0 evidence means that I place the probability of it existing so low that for all intents in purposes I do not believe they exist (atheism).
